The notes to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are an integral part of these statements.
1. Nature of operations and going concern
Petrolympic Ltd. (the "Company" or "Petrolympic") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Petrolympic is an exploration company, engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of petroleum and natural gas properties. At the date of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has not yet discovered any significant deposits, nor has it generated any profit from its activities. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol PCQ and on the OTCQX International under the symbol PCQRF. The primary office is located at The Canadian Venture Building, 82 Richmond Street East, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5C 1P1. The Company's year end is December 31st.
Petrolympic is at an early stage of exploration and, as is common with many exploration companies, it raises financing for its exploration and acquisition activities in discrete tranches. The Company had a working capital deficiency of $846,155 at June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019 - working capital deficiency of $687,827). As at June 30, 2020, the Company has a deficit of $11,106,525 (December 31, 2019 - $10,951,982). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had a comprehensive loss of $159,357 (six months ended June 30, 2019 - comprehensive loss of $338,756). For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had total cash inflows of $13,459 (six months ended June 30, 2019 - cash outflows of $70,611). These conditions raise material uncertainties which cast significant doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its obtaining additional financing and eventually achieving profitable operations in the future. The Company is currently evaluating various options in order to address its financing needs. There can be no assurance that the Company's financing activities will continue to be successful or sufficient.
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they become due. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern and was required to realize its assets or discharge its obligations in anything other than the ordinary course of operations. These adjustments could be material.
In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. It is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company's business or ability to raise funds.
2. Significant accounting policies

15. Commitments and contingencies
Québec, Canada
Effective January 1, 2017, in order to maintain its petroleum and natural gas permits in good standing, the Company must pay an annual fee of $10.30 per square km. The Quebec Government has decided to maintain the annual rent obligations until further notice while completing environmental studies and preparing new Quebec oil and gas laws and regulations. Until then, permits owners must only pay the annual rental and have no work obligations to keep their permits. Present exploration expenditures (without hydraulic fracturation) are allowed and will be cumulated and credited to future permits work obligations.
The Company's operations are subject to government environmental protection legislation. Environmental consequences are difficult to identify in terms of results, timetable and impact.
At this time, to management's best knowledge, the Company's operations are in compliance with current laws and regulations.
16. Segmented information
As at June 30, 2020, the Company operates primarily in two reportable geographical segments, being the exploration for petroleum and natural gas interests in Canada and the USA. The Company maintains a head office in Toronto, Canada.
